Not really news . Thats pretty much the standard way of gripping windsurf boards and raceboards.

On a surfboard I have done it and would not recommend it over wax. It shreds your feet and will take skinn off your arms when you carry the board. And when you fall onto it or get hit by it rips skinn off.

Its fine on strapped boards where you spend little time out of straps , but on a strapless board, your feet are going to suffer.

I have a second hand beater board that has a salt and epoxy deck (from the previous owner). I definitely recommend against it. The soles of my feet are fine, but it gives me cuts other places, particularly hands, top of feet and ankles. Also, I find it so grippy that repositioning my feet is harder. With wax, you can slide your feet a little bit but still have grip, I find it really hard to slide my feet on the salt deck.

and, it's right now far to thick, i will sand it down to nearly same thicknes then the rest of the deck ( okok i made it to thick ) and the sanding process will give it just the softnes/grip ratio needed to grip my feets.

facts : i dont ride my board on my stomach or elbows nor other parts off my body, i ride my board on my feets, AND i wear bootys.
